"I live in Milan, but right know I would like to be in another country".

Education and work experienceHe started working as an art director in advertising agencies, and in 2008 attended a course in Fashion Design at the Domus Academy in Milan. After finishing his studies he started working right away for different projects as a designer, creating an accessories line for Cose A Tre, plus his own line, winning the Next Generation contest that enabled him to show his creations at Milan’s fashion week for F/W 2010.

Goals

"Conveying emotions and carrying on with my three projects (a real effort), and most of all never giving up my own collection".

Greatest dream

"Finding a fashion connoisseur willing to invest in my collection. Sadly, with no adequate financing, you are unable to develop properly your project. It’s like a good movie without an ending".

His creations are strongly focused on fabric techniques. Fabric are hand-crafted, washed, worn out, deteriorated, re-elaborated. In the SS 2011 collection, for instance, the result of such treatments was a sophisticated used-effect: the knitwear garments are inspired by fishing net, large and thick, subsequently “bleached” to create a “sea foam” effect. The suggestions are of course stolen from a remote ocean island.

"It’s in the gestures, in the way you move your hands, and talk, what you say … A dress can be elegant but it the wearer is not, it may look like a useless piece of fabric".

What are your inspirations?

"I always base my creations upon emotions and the sensations a woman may feel. I envisage her in a place, immersed in a particular setting, and everything starts from there. What surrounds her provides endless suggestions for the creation of a given fabric technique but also gives me the right input for the choice of colors and the silhouette. I am often inspired by old movies’ leading ladies".

What is fashion for you?

"Fashion is longing, is desire.. And if this desire is not satisfied, it will always leave a little open wound".
